Visiting Zhubei
Zhubei is the main rail city of Hsinchu County and holds an unusual position in Taiwan's network: the city has both a Taiwan Railways station on the Western Trunk Line and the Hsinchu High Speed Rail station within its boundaries. Taiwan Railways serves central Zhubei, while Taiwan High Speed Rail uses Hsinchu Station in eastern Zhubei for intercity high-speed trains.
